Why the static between changing channels. Analog TVs would change channels instantly.

Here is my guess. The author is most likely younger than you and I. And has never experienced the instant response of analog.

Creator here. I add the static to mask the video buffering ( since each channel change triggers a video load ) I'm flattered though that you think of me as young. I very much was a child of the '80's :D

You could add a "high bandwidth & low latency" mode, where when active, you load the current video + the next one. So when the user goes to the next channel, it's already playing but muted and not visible, and you start playing the next-next channel hidden again :)
